WONDERS OF 7.7rF DEAD SEA.
Motor Boat Exploration by hieur-
bers of Colony in Jerusalem.
An interesting trip around the
Dead Sea was made in a motor boat
by Jacob E. Spafford, a member of
the Amerioau colony in. Jerusalem,
says the Geographical Journal.
In circumnavigating the lake four
or five vary fertile plains or ghors
were met with. "These plains,"
writes Mr Spafford, "naturally
bring to mind the connection of the
Dead Sea with Sodom and Gomor-
rah, the `cities of the plain,' that
were overthrown, They have been
variously placed on every side of the
sea.
"These plains and the small oasis
at Engedi are the only p :.nits where
life of any kind and water are to be
found. Engedi, our first stopping
place, is the only spot an the west

men
"The cliffs on the west side of the
sea whieh form an almost unbroken
wall, excepting for the rugged tor-
rent beds, and which lazy from 300
to 1,900 feet in height are all of
limestone, whereas on the east side
of the lake the formation is entirely
sandstone of exquisite hues. The
abundance of wafter on this side as
compared with the other is very
striking too.
"About ten miles from Engedi
lies the peerless natural fortress' of
Masada (Sebbeb), first fortified by
the Maccabees, then used as a place
of refuge by Herod. Atthe foot of
the table end can he seen the Ro-
man wall of circumvadlation and the
two R^man camps on either side of
the small revine.
"The °ortress, which is 1,700 feet
above the sea, has steep sides at
about an angle of 75 degrees and
•. cannot be approached, except from
a •:'nneeting neck called the Ser-
pentine. A more inhospitable place
or one n.are disadvantageous to be-
siegers could not be imagined.
"Eight miles away is Jebel Us-
duni, a rnountaia of rock salt rising
to a height of 500 feet. In this
mountain is a large cave which was
explored to the extent of about 200

CHEESE BETTER THAN MEAT.
The use of cheese as a food dates
back to very remote ages. Cheese
is referred to in the Book of Job
and both the books of Samuel, and
was evidently a very popular article
of diet in the early days of the Jew-
ish kingdom, says Dr. C. S. Red-
mond.
connective tisane. This is termed
Cheese, on the other hand, is
probably the only article of food in
whioh there is practically no waste,
except the thin outside rind, about.
1 per cent. ' Again, cheese is a.
"purin free" food, while beef is the
reverse, (Puxins are certain nitro-
genous bodies whioh go to produce
in the system uric acid, the bu=neful
factor in the causation of gout and
rheumatism),
Notwithstanding its high nutritive
value, it is a curious fact that cheese
does not take the high place that it
merits as the chief factor in the
prineiapl daily meal of our workers.
The rich designate it as vulgar be,
cause it is cheap; the poor "cold
shoulder" it because: our education-
al authorities have hitherto ne-
glected their manifest duty to teach
all children domestic economy and
the food value and relative cost of
all food "stuffs, as is so thoroughly
done in Germany.
Yet in Switzerland cheese is the
national dish of the hardy violin-:
taineerrs, as the well-known "fon-
du," is the most toothsome and sat-
isfying meal that a healthy man can
desire. Some people say that,.
though they like cheese, yet they
can not eat it because it 'gives • them.
indigestion. While this may no
doubt be true in some oases, yet for
the most part suoh should blame
themselves, and not the cheese, be-
cause they do not sufficiently mas-
ticate it, and so allow it to pass into
the stomach in little lumps which
the gastric juice is unable to pene-
trate and dissolve the casein.

Until comparatively recent, years
it has been used by the well-to-do
only as a savory at the end of an
ample meal, and by the field labor-
ers in many of the agricultural dis-
tricts as the basis of theirmidday
dinner. But within the last twenty-
five years it has been scientifically
demonstrated as a cheap and nutri-
tious substitute for meat.
Now an economic food may be de-
fined as one which yields, the high-
est percentage of proteid or nitro-
genous constituents at the lowest
price, and for the purpose of this
article it is proposed to compare
the relative claims of beef, the most
generally used : animal source of
proteid, and of cheese, perhaps the
kost so.
Comparing the relative economic
value of beef and cheese, Mathew.
Williams ("Chemistry of Cook-
ery") maintains that 1 pound of
average cheese contains as much
nutriment as 3 pounds of an. oft or a
sheep as prepared for sale by the
butcher, or, in other words, a
ehaese weighing 20 pounds supplies
as much nutriment as a sheep of 60
pounds, as it hangs in the butcher's
shop.
Estimated by the calory, or heat
standard, i.e.. tho amount of heat
required to raise 1 pound of water 4
degrees, Fahrenheit, • the fuel value,
of cheese is '1.303, tempered with
that of beef .623, or rather more
than. double.
Beef, therefore, is a dearfood,
s f cf ,.
cheesea cheap one. .Beef is also a
wasteful food -•--the non -edible por-
tions -bone, cartilage, sinew and
unavoidable waste, and in ordinary
cuts of meat is estimated at about
15 per cent. There is also waste in
cooking, especially roosting, but
the percentage is difficult to esti-
Mate, and consists 1ar,54 of water..
PRESERVING TIMBER. .
Few people realize that timber
will last longer than metal. The
average life of a steel bridge is fifty
years, yet elm piles supporting the
foundation of London Bridge were
found to be in good conditionafter
a lapse of 800 years. Wood that
has to stand for a very considerable
time, such as piles, is now creo-
soted, and the process is something
more than the meredaubing of a
preservative over the timber. Cre-
osote is really a heavy oil distilled
from coal -tar. The wood to be sub-
jected to the preservative is first
seasoned in the ordinary way: It
is then placed in an enormous air-
tight steel •drum, The air from this
drum is extracted, so that a vacu-
um is created, and the creosote is
then pumped into the chamber at
great heat and pressure, Natural-
ly, the creosote liquid is literally
forced several inches into the wood;
in face, the process increases the.
weight of the wood by ten pounds
per cubic foot.
CATS USED BY SMUGGLERS.
Two men have been arrested in
Vienna for smuggling saccharin in-
to Austria, with the involuntary as-
sistance of twenty performing cats..
Tho cats arrived at the frontier in
a large cage, and after being in-
speeted were passed as beipg des-
tined kr a Viennese music -hall, A
message was afterwards received
from the German authorities advis-
ing the Atntrian Customs inspec-
tors to examine the cage. closely.
This was done when the animals or -
rived in Vienna, and a large quan-
tity of saccharin was found con-
cealed under a false floor el the
ease.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDY
INTERNATIONAL LESSON,
JUNE 16.
Lesson XI, Christ's Witness to
John the Baptist. Matt. 11. 2-16.
Golden Text, Luke 7. 28.
Verse 2, Verse --1, which is not a
part of our lesson passage, reads,
"And it eaane to pass when Jesus
had finished coneanding : his twelve
disciples, he departed thence' to
teaeh and preach in their cities,"
Following the beet harmonies of the
Gospels we must insert at this point
in the n.arratiye the incidents of the
healing of the centurion's servant
and the raising of the widow's son
at Nain (Luke 7, 1-17). Both incl.•
dents belong to the preaching tour
referred to in the verse just quoted,
News of the marvelous works of
the Christ reached John the Bap-
tist in his prison at Machaerus, on
the upper : end of the Dead Sea,
where an imposing castle served the
double purpose of palace and dun-
geon.
3. Art thou he 7.—The uncertain-
ty in the mind of the Baptist was
real, .not affected. Still it was not.
an evidence of disbelief, but rather
of a troubled uncertainty born of
disappointment and prison hard
ships:
4. The things which ye hear and
see - The marvelous authoritative
teaching concerning the kingdom
and the words of healing and bene-
ficence performed..
5. The . poor have good tidings
preached to them—Jesus every-
where lays as much stress upon his
teachings as upon his miracles.
6. No occasion of stumbling—No
cause for the faltering of. faith.
7, 8. What went ye out in the
wilderness to behold ?—We are per-
mitted in the passage which follows
to see John through the eyes of Je-
sus. To him the great forerunner
of the Kingdom was no mere reed
shaken with the wind, nor yet as
ordinary herald of royalty clothed
in soft raiment, but a prophet of
righteousness.
9. Some translations of this verse
read, But what went ye out to see?
a prophet?
10. He, of whom it is written—In
Mal. 3. 1, which reads : "Behold, I
seed my messenger, and he shall.
prepare the way before me; and the
Lord, whom ye seek, will suddenly
come to his temple; and the mes-
senger of the covenant, whom ye
desire, behold, he cometh, saith
Jehovah of hosts." In Malachi it
is thus Jehovah himself who speaks
of his own coming. This direct
speech in the first person ail of the
evangelists change into an address
of Jehovah to the Messiah (compare
Mark 1. 2; Luke 1.•76; 7. 27), which
suggests that perhaps they are
quoting not directly from Malachi,
but from some common paraphrase
in 'which the change had already.
been made.
11. There hath not arisen a
greater than John the Baptist --
None- greater under the old dispen-
sation, a representative of which
the Baptist must be considered.
Greater than he—Greater in pri-
vilege because a member of the
Kingdom, and as such under the
new dispensation.
12. From the days of John—
Since he began to preach repen-
tanee.
Suflereth violence The eager
crowding ofrepentant sinners into
the Kingdom. Jesus gives John
full credit for the remarkable in-
fuenee of his preaching.
13. And all the prophets and the
law—Those of the Old Testament.
14. This is Elijah, that is to come
The prophecy referred to is that: of
Mal. 4. 5, "Behold I will' send you
Elijah the prophet before the great
and terrible day of Jehovah come."
Jesus hints that his hearers may be,
unwilling to believe hie statement
concerning . John. Their unbelief
would be natural in view of John's
present imprisonment and humilia-
tion, and more particularly in view
of the fact that they expected a
personal return of Elijah and not
the coming of another prophet of
similar authority.
15. Ears to hear—Power to corn-
p.rehend.
16. This generation—The Phari-
sees and scribes` . who are pleased
with neither John nor : himself.
These are compared with children
in the streets playing at weddings
and funerals, and quarreling with
each other as they play.
19. Eating and drinking—Not
subjecting himself' to the asceticism
which John had practised.
Wisdom is justified by her works
—The superiority of the religion of
John and Jesus is proved by the
lives of their disciples,

FREE TO KISS ALL TIER GIRLS.
For Ono Day the *Tutti-filen of
Hungerford Are Lucky.
Just when England is beginning
to pride itself on its progress of
modernity, Hungerford, on the bor-
ders of Berkshire and Wiltshire,
slips back into the centuries because
it is Hackney Tuesday.
Unless you have lived through
Hockney. Tuesday you can have no
conception • of what it means. It
needs strong nerves and a stronger
constitution thoroughly to enter in-
to the spirit of ancient times. At.
eight o'clock the town crier,_ in grey
and scarlet, with brass buttons,
comes out of the town hall and
_ blows three notes on the ancient
horn .given by John o' Gaunt, end -
that is the signal for two tutti-me
to 'emerge from the constable'
house with staves tipped with flow-
ers—daffodils, primroses, and tu-
lips, surmounted by an orange. It
is their business to go forth and
kiss the damsels of the towel, irre-
spective of age or beauty, accord-
ing to custom.
Mr. James Blake and 14fr. An-
thony .Bowsher were the tutti-men
this year. Mr. Blake is sixty year
old, Mr. Bowsher is younger, but
both of them kissed vigorously from
eight o'clock until seven in the
evening; with a break for dinner.
Tradition decrees that they shall
be liberal with oranges and pen
nies, Therefore, having kissed 'a
maid, they gave her an orange as a
solace, and they hurled oranges
amongthe crowd of urchins' who fol-
lowed them about all day.
It was a perfect orgy of kissing.
They knocked at doors, . and little__
high-pitched shrieks floated: out 'hi -
to' the street, showing how nobly
the tutti-men were doing their
duty.
They went to the workhouse and
kissed all the ()Id ladies, including
Ann Benson, who : is ninety-nine
years old; they went to the laundry
with their floral staves. Up and
down for five miles they wandered
from house to house, kissing; kiss-
ing, kissing,, until, at the time of
the sunset there were no more left
to kiss:
Meanwhile, during these goings-
on, the Hock -Tide Court had been
sitting, doing the serious business
of the year, appointing a constable,
a portreeve, an ' ale taster, and
what not, and at the end the entire
court adjourned to the Three Swans
for churchwarden pipes and bowls
of smoking., punch.
Everyone agreed that t°they were
good old times."

SECOND CITY. IN THE EMPIRE
Parliamentary Committee Admits
Glasgow's Claim.
Glasgow is proud in the fact that
she is now •really "the second city
in the Empire," with a population
of over a million. But it bias cost
her eighteen days' hard fighting in
the committee rooms of° the British
House of Commons, and an expen-
diture of $250,000 on lawyers and
.witnesses. •
It has been achieved by extend-
ing the boundaries so as to absorb
Govan, Patrick, Pollocksha.ws, and
sixteen smaller. suburbs • within the
city administration.
But even now the pinnacle gained.
is a precarious. one. Birmingham,
with its surroundings, comes close
behind. Calcutta and Bombay have
more inhabitants, though their
skins are colored, so, perhaps, they
count at a lower ratio, while if
Manchester incorporates Salford
and . her other offshoots,' she will
beat all competitors outside Lon-
don'. But forthe: momentGlasgow
is satisfied,and so are the Parlia-
